My First Leadership Book

Friday, after work, I met my wife at Paseo Center and we decided to have dinner at that newly-opened Kentucky Fried Chicken nearby.

I saw a Books for Less outlet beside it so I nagged my wife out until she said “Fine, let’s go there after dinner”.

I was actualy looking for a book on project management. What I found was a lot better.

I first learned about John Maxwell when a supervisor-friend recommended the “7 Habits” book to me. I never really finished the book, admittedly I got bored with it.

Not this time.

Upon scanning The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership, I knew this would help me a lot. I immediately bought it, along with the children’s books my wife chose for our son, and went home.

I’ve already went through 2 chapters (so that’s 2 of 21 laws already) and it started to make me think about how I really want to do things in my group. Generally any book that makes me think deeply on a given topic is a good read for me. This one fits that description very well.

I recommend this book to a lot of people, leader or not. It may be able to change my way of thinking to a positive degree, and so it may to others.
